Valentine's Day treats

My daughter asked me to make some Valentine's Day treats for her class so I had to plan something quick because she gave me tomorrow morning as her deadline, luckily I had already bought some lollipops from Oriental Trading and pencils from Wal-mart.

I had already reduced the size of the circles to 03.50 but it was still too big so if you don't want to glue the paper to the pencil I would recommend you re-size the circle to 0.345 or 3.40 whichever fits your pencils best.

Here is a screen shot of what I made. In order to do this you will have to select the image, right click, select: release compound, right click and select un-group, select the shape again and repeat release compound un-group until all the parts of this file are un-grouped. Then is when you will be able to re-seize the circles.

After separating the components of this file, I removed the middle heart, copied and pasted it to a new drawing window, added some text, grouped the images and replicated it to "fill page". I had to accommodate them again because I needed three extra hearts to complete my project. This is what it looks like before I printed it on re-positionable label paper.

Print and cut is so easy with the Silhouette Studio/Cameo/SD combos, I <3 my cameo.

Ta-da!

I also made extra stickers to fit behind the lollipops

This project was very easy and fast. I think it took me more time to convince my husband to help me write the names on the stickers while I was cutting more files than to finish the whole thing, lol.

Oh! before I forget, this week I will be part of a blog hop for Chomas Creations, woohoo!! Check it out at Amy's blog for more details while I get my project ready, I will be using the Chomas Creations pen holder that fits all cricuts and silhouette machines. Awesome huh?
